E1 code is showing and it won’t let me adjust the humidity settings. A prior comment shows the same. How do I get a new sensor?

@Monte I found a You Tube Video. It says it's the humidity sensor and it tells you how to change it.

To resolve the E1 error code on your Whirlpool WDH70EAPW dehumidifier:
1. Reset the unit: Unplug the unit, wait a few minutes, then plug it back in. Check if the error clears. 2. Check the humidity sensor: - Remove the filter and front grill. - Locate the humidity sensor behind the grill. - Unplug and replug the sensor connector. - If the error persists, replace the humidity sensor. 3. Accessing and replacing the sensor: - Remove the back and side screws of the unit. - Remove the front cover and control panel assembly. - Locate the control board and unplug the sensor connector. - Cut any zip ties holding the wires, unscrew, and remove the sensor. - Replace with a new sensor and reassemble the unit.
Note: The unit may be under a one-year warranty, so the sensor replacement might be covered.
To adjust humidity settings: - Use the control panel to set the desired humidity level once the unit is functioning properly.

My dehumidifier model WDH70EAPW is not taking humidity (putting any water into the holder). I've looked at trouble shooting in the manual; unplugged the unit, then held the power button for 10 seconds, plugged back in and ran for a while but still not working. All other buttons work. It is a 2019 model. Is it the compressor? Do they only last a few years?

Based on the context, the compressor in your Whirlpool dehumidifier model WDH70EAPW may be contributing to the issue. The compressor runs for a short time, gets hot, and shuts off, which suggests it may be overheating or malfunctioning. This could prevent the unit from collecting water properly.
Possible causes include: - Overheating compressor - Faulty capacitor (even if tested, it may still be weak) - Faulty humidity sensor (error codes E1 or E3 indicate this)
Check for error codes and ensure the unit is operating within the recommended temperature range of 41°F to 89°F.

Dehumidifier running but very little water coming out and humidity doesn’t drop

The Whirlpool WDH70EAPW dehumidifier may be running but producing very little water and not reducing humidity due to a problem with the pump or the sensor/control board that manages the pump. If the pump is not working properly, water cannot be expelled through the hose and may collect in the bucket or stop the unit. A faulty humidity sensor could also cause incorrect readings, preventing proper operation.

The context does not provide specific information on why you can't change the humidity setting on your Whirlpool WDH70EAPW. However, if you are experiencing issues with adjusting the humidity setting, it could be due to a faulty humidity sensor, as error codes E1 or E3 indicate a sensor failure. Replacing the humidity sensor may resolve the issue.
